This short book examines the career and achievements of Lord
Kilmuir (David Maxwell Fyfe), a British politician and former Lord
Chancellor who is mainly remembered for some poor and unpopular
decisions but who nevertheless made a considerable mark on
twentieth-century legal development. After the Second World War,
Kilmuir not only excelled as a fellow prosecutor with Justice
Robert Jackson at Nuremberg but also played a significant role in
the effort to restore European unity, particularly through his
involvement in the drafting of the European Convention on Human
Rights. Drawing on archival and other primary sources, this book
considers Kilmuir's initiatives both at home and in Europe, and
concludes by marking out his achievements as a pro-European
Conservative who not only favoured the right of individual petition
to a supranational, Convention-enforcing court but who also
favoured Parliament legislating to replicate Convention norms in
domestic law.
